What social and psychological factors make us vulnerable to conspiratorial narratives?

In this episode, I team up with Derek DeWitt of Conspiracy Clearinghouse in hopes to answer these questions.

We dive into the hidden psychological nature of human beings in an attempt to explain how some of us become victims of misinformation or believers of the almost unbelievable.

My goal is to understand what can lead people to down the rabbit hole of fiction, believing in things that have been thoroughly disproven or even narratives that are completely unhinged from reality.

This is part one of a two part episode, be sure to check out the second part!

I really wanted to speak about the friction that can be generated when we decide to go against the grain and cross cultural boundaries.

In this Episode, my good friend and musical artist, LaiddbackZach, speaks about the huge jump he made when moving from Compton L.A to The Bay Area California.

 Zach opens up about some of the difficulties and challenges he faced relating to where he comes from and the personal choices he has made in his life.

This episode is part one of a two part episode and is a great look into cultural divides as well as the Black experience.

Adela Pastor helps people with spiritual transformation and she is the creator of Soy Satya Yoga Studio, located in Madrid, Spain . In this episode, she tells me about how she helps people let go of attachment, become more spiritually aware and manifest the experience they desire. 

I much enjoyed my conversations with Adela as she is able to break down topics that can sometimes be complicated and mystical into a comprehensible manner. She not only makes such topics easy to understand but she also provides practical knowledge which can be applied to daily life. 

This is part one of a two part episode so make sure you tune into part two!

In this episode, I speak with my colleague and dear friend Matthew about what mindfulness really means and how to practice it. Mindfulness has gained popularity in modern pop and work culture but there is a lot of allusion around its true essence as well as limited views on how to practice it.

The point of this episode was to try and clarify what we feel is a more accurate understanding of mindfulness and also acknowledge the diverse ways it can be practiced in daily life. 

As always, the thoughts and opinions expressed in this episode are personal so I would love to hear what mindfulness means to you and how you practice it!

 A lot of people want to be taught "real" English. Meaning the English Native speakers use when speaking to other people with similar linguistic backgrounds. But this can be hard to do and sometimes not optimal in regards to improving non native speakers' general English communication skills.

In this episode, my colleague and good friend Dane, converse about the difficulties of teaching "real" English, what it means to be a native speaker and the possible negative side effects caused by the desire of wanting to speak just like a native. 

Dane is a long time English teacher and podcast host. His podcast is great for those who are looking for useful English learning  audio content and insightful tips for improving their speaking fluency. Check him out on Spotify, Tiktok and Instagram as English with Dane!

This is part two of the Knowing What to Want episode and is a continuation of my conversation with Agustin. In this episode, we dive deep into understanding our desires and what influences them. We also talk about the need to be explorative in life and seek out what you authentically enjoy or are curious about.

Once again, I must say that I truly enjoyed this conversation which is based on Agustin's book in progress. I recommend this episode to anyone who is in the midst of making big life changes, big decisions or planning their educational / career paths.

As always, I am open to the constructive feedback of my listeners and I always invite them to reach out to me. To all the English learners out their, this is a taste of real native conversation. Can you notice the contrast between the North American and Australian Accent? Let me know!

In this episode, I had the great pleasure to speak with Ana Sanchez about how to increase your speaking confidence as a non-native English speaker. Ana is a  advanced neurolanguage coach and she helps people improve their speaking confidence by understanding their negative mental and emotional process related to speaking English.

Sounds complicated right? Actually Ana explains her practice and professional experience quite clearly. She also gives expert insights to EFL learners who have difficulties using English for business purposes. 

Not only is she an expert, she is a great conversationalist and I really enjoyed listening to her inspirations and personal history. This episode is for English language learners, teachers and lovers alike! 

Feel free to reach out to Ana on LinkedIn if you are interested in learning more about her coaching tactics or services.
